Mandolin bridge

[Bruno B M Merks]

I came accros this fine mandolin.
It is build by giuseppe serafino a student from giuseppe venaccia, arround 1890

The bridge used is , strange enough, patented in germany. I have seen this type of bridge on hawaiien guitars but did not know they were made for mandolins aswel?

Can somebody tell me more about this?
I have pictures but do not know how to attach them.
